Fork Union Scale Modelers Donation

Fork Union Military Academy currently has a scale modelers' club, but they are running out of kits and supplies with which to keep their students involved.

IPMS Richmond will host a donation table at this coming weekend's Old Dominion Open. Anything that anyone could spare in the way of kits, paints, knives, glue, sand paper, tools, etc. would be  gladly accepted and greatly appreciated! If you don't necessarily want to build one of those great raffle wins, how about donating it to the cause?

Thanks, everyone, and see you Saturday!

"The F-111 Aardvark: Legend or Lemon?"

Okay, all you Aardvark fans. . . time to check out IPMS Richmond's own E. L. Motley's fine article on this often-maligned bird.

You can find the article under the "Resources" tab above or by clicking here.

Stay tuned for more articles for modelers by modelers!
